So, what's new. Logistics-wise, Alan tackled some of the attic boxes and I took a mountainload of paper recycling out to the curb tonight. College notebooks, dissertation notes, etc., etc. I took my College thesis into work and scanned it on the copier, along with all of my technical writing examples. The result? 4-5 boxes condensed into one. I did keep papers from College with my professor's comments (guess, in retrospect, I could have scanned those, too. Funny, didn't even occur to me.) Wow, I was a bad writer freshman year. Guess I really did learn something at UR. :-)

Baking supplies went to Marianne. Still more food to dispose of and I have basically stopped cooking. It's just too much. What to do with the spices? And spice bottlers from the container store? Jettison, I guess.....well, that means I have to do that tomorrow to wash them for Saturday.

AKF scheduled for Monday to pickup everything that doesn't go.

Antique ladies never called back so sent pictures to Kudzu Antiques. They are interested in some things. Need to finalize that.

Rented "chalet" 45 minutes from Dartmouth for July-August.

Had a panic attack this afternoon about everything to be done for the yard sale Saturday. Two friends stepped in to volunteer to organize the sale and wrote the Craig's List ad. Phew. It really is easier when you feel like you're not alone. :-)

That gave me the courage to come home and parse out the mud room which really wasn't all that bad. Just intimidating especially given that the entire house is in such disarray. I literally walk from room to room unsure of what to do and utterly unable to prioritize. It's quite humbling.

One the positive front, had a great dinner out with the Rusches last night at Kyma (grilled octopus, yum!) and tonight Barb took me to a girls night out at our old favorite Tavola. I will miss the Atlanta food. And, more importantly, our friends. :-(

I am tired.
